  • ech09_pain pain (@ech09_pain) reported

    I can't play Winston in overwatch because he makes my game crash😭😭😭😭

  • WinterDragonPSI WinterDragonPSI (@WinterDragonPSI) reported

    Man you know how Overwatch has a problem of no one wants to play healer? Well Paladins apparently has a problem of no one wants to play Frontline (Tank). I got into a match where I wanted to try out a healer and two other people chose healer after me! 3 Healers!!!

  • Gravel_OW Gravel (@Gravel_OW) reported

    @DF_Taimou Only had this problem when I played on borderless windowed instead of full screen, works for overwatch, idk if it'd work for valorant

  • Lenxaid The Big Gay (@Lenxaid) reported

    @madruski @Yassuo Hey at least it isn't Overwatch, where they took a completely fun game at launch, and butchered the **** out of it since. League in sub diamond 1 is almost all skill based matchups, nobody is good enough to abuse broken champs. ADC is a rough role for sure, just find a good supp

  • VicinityR6 Vicinity (@VicinityR6) reported

    @ItzUnionJack Love these concepts the only problem is with queue times. For example they split the roles in overwatch so you have to queue a certain role and it killed queue times and it takes forever to find matches even at low ranks.

  • HanazonoAi Val~ (@HanazonoAi) reported

    @TylerFulwood Overwatch is okay for me. I don't actually lag much(?)

  • Beavsi Harvey Ⓥ (@Beavsi) reported

    Overwatch is fun but people care when they play it So I can't play it because I'll feel bad if I just lag out for 30 seconds

  • JuliusMaximus4 ſǝʍls (@JuliusMaximus4) reported

    I really wish there was a good performing shooter on the switch. Overwatch and Apex both have tons of native input lag and it makes them annoying to play 😞

  • Talbiz00 Talbiz (@Talbiz00) reported

    @DallasFuel @Favor Admittedly it was because I knew who seagull was! I didn't recognise any other names as I wasn't big into competitive overwatch and so made my allegiance there and then, never to be broken!

  • LOSTLEAD8R Lost (@LOSTLEAD8R) reported

    @Alexa_licious Overwatch is a game with far too much of a flexing meta that getting good with it is merely more trouble than it's worth. Blizzard doesn't know how to balance their games, and high level play is heavily about Ult. Economy, and both of these lead to teams with not much synergy...

  • TeaLovingBeauty Coconut And Akeno (@TeaLovingBeauty) reported

    @MeneIwen @overwatchleague Did you just try to compare a race related issue to a joke tweet about overwatch player power ranking placements?

  • yanderecorpse Kira 🔪 (@yanderecorpse) reported

    I would play Overwatch like I’ve been wanting but I’m still getting used to this new keyboard and so I just don’t want it to crash again lol

  • GiantOmelette Lionel (@GiantOmelette) reported

    I had to mute Rain Overwatch’s Twitter account because it was posting too many spam tweets... I’m sorry, Rain Overwatch... please change your password when you come back from military service...

  • imsxsad1 zoomer (@imsxsad1) reported

    @PlayOverwatch You guys are so ******* lucky my GF plays Overwatch otherwise I would be ******** out of that dogshit game, fix your ****. It's horrendous.

  • Coc_Holliday Coc Holliday 🥃🐓 (@Coc_Holliday) reported

    I had to uninstall the software for my razer deathadder chroma because it would not let Overwatch start up. It's an older mouse that uses razer synapse 2 and not 3. Apparently the newer ones don't have this problem. Now I'm using a zowie ec1 evo.

  • yummines Entry Level Waifu (@yummines) reported

    @Nerfnow There's multiple issues with Overwatch's role queue, but the main one is that a majority of characters in the game fall under it. Reaper, Widowmaker, and Torbijorn are all under the same moniker of "dps".

  • BoricuaGamer620 Eduardo Fonseca (@BoricuaGamer620) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent Im having the uncontrolable scrolling glitch and its making me mad and sad cause i actualy enjoy Overwatch alot but the glitch is so annoying to the point i just dont want to play the game and im not the only one with the same issue there other ppl same pls help out

  • albedo_gaming_ 소원 (@albedo_gaming_) reported

    literally the only way to redeem overwatch at this point is to ban 2cp entirely and fix the mmr somehow i would also ban hog and bastion and orisa and doomfist and mei and hanzo and ana and brig AND KINGS ROW but nobody would agree so

    @maingear Overwatch and War Thunder .. probably Arma 3 .. but my problem is that I don't have PC cleaning tool and we don't have them in Tunisia ..

  • TranscendentOrb Tranquilimari (@TranscendentOrb) reported

    OWL has completely ruined Overwatch for the average player. Some characters are completely useless on ladder; some characters are completely broken on ladder. And some are just completely ignored entirely (poor Bastion). Overwatch needs to think about the playerbase, not the pros

  • SailorGhidra Torin (@SailorGhidra) reported

    I’ll play Apex Comp for hours. I’ll play OW Arcade and QP for HOURS. But once I get on OW Comp? disconnect/can’t connect to server/ban/8 hour ban. How in thee **** is it always when I want to play OW comp? ONLY ON OVERWATCH COMPETITIVE DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME. 🤌🏽😭🤌🏽

  • Coc_Holliday Coc Holliday 🥃🐓 (@Coc_Holliday) reported

    @samunyann I've had the same problem long ago when I was active on Overwatch. I forgot about it till now. It goes to show they never bothered to fix it. It's tempting to blame Razer for it but I never had that issue with any of the other games I played on my PC.

  • RollingSloth R0llingSloth (@RollingSloth) reported

    Yes this is Overwatch league. That's exactly what I saw last year.😑 There are no days without errors.

  • Yuno_Tokisaki ♡νσи☆ (@Yuno_Tokisaki) reported

    @BlizzardCS can you please help me with Overwatch error (BC-152)?

  • Squishy_Derg Ase 💚🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@Squishy_Derg) reported

    @RedManedLynx @SekoPanda lots of interesting plot hooks and no development on them because it would risk touching on literally any real world issues and as such alienating possible userbase overwatch's development and its shortcomings scream of skilled staff and **** superiors

  • bonniequeue bonnie qu (@bonniequeue) reported

    playing valorant has broken my brain. i'm watching overwatch characters shoot exactly where their crosshairs are placed and thinking "that shouldn't happen"

  • KINGKAIYXTA ║𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐈𝐒𝐇 𝐔𝐏𝐎𝐍 𝐀 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑 (@KINGKAIYXTA) reported

    @gIorykeks Overwatch is still broken I see

  • caseyepicstyle Casey 👍 (@caseyepicstyle) reported

    haven’t played overwatch in a while and don’t want to fix my aim might become a flex dps for fun

  • MuffinsTwinky Twinky.Muffins (@MuffinsTwinky) reported

    @overwatchleague @Soembie @TMobile Does anyone has the same problem? i watched the the whole steam from overwatch league website signed in, i got the tokens each hour but not the spray. Do i have to wait till the next day to get it?
